Only the person who was issued the card is allowed to use it and borrow any books with it.
Of course there is probably no way they could enforce it for ebooks, unless both of you borrow a book with IPs across country. But I'm going to guess that they probably don't check IPs to even notice that.
But I'm pretty certain that all libraries who issue cards have the same policy about not letting others use it.

Hmm...Interesting. My library does require a photo ID and proof of address to get the card initially, so that they know who to bill in case of loss or damage. However, I know for a fact that my library, at least doesn't care who is actually using the card--they only care that the person who's name is on the card is responsible if something should happen to the checked out item.
